SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Supporting documents which explain in 

detail the information that the EPA will 

be collecting are available in the public 

docket for this ICR. The docket can be 

viewed online at www.regulations.gov 

or in person at the EPA Docket Center, 

WJC West, Room 3334, 1301 

Constitution Ave. NW., Washington, 

DC. The telephone number for the 

Docket Center is 202–566–1744. For 

additional information about EPA’s 

public docket, visit http://www.epa.gov/ 

dockets. 

Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of 

the PRA, EPA is soliciting comments 

and information to enable it to: (i) 

Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the Agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; (ii) evaluate the 

accuracy of the Agency’s estimate of the 

burden of the proposed collection of 

information, including the validity of 

the methodology and assumptions used; 

(iii) enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (iv) minimize the burden 

of the collection of information on those 

who are to respond, including through 

the use of appropriate automated 

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology, 

e.g., permitting electronic submission of 

responses. EPA will consider the 

comments received and amend the ICR 

as appropriate. The final ICR package 

will then be submitted to OMB for 

review and approval. At that time, EPA 

will issue another Federal Register 

notice to announce the submission of 

the ICR to OMB and the opportunity to 

submit additional comments to OMB. 

Abstract: For this ICR, EPA is seeking 

a revision to an existing package with a 

three year extension. Under ICR 

2394.03, EPA collects information 

regarding Greenhouse Gas Emissions 

Standards and Fuel Efficiency 

Standards for Medium- and Heavy-Duty 

Engines and Vehicles. 

Under Title II of the Clean Air Act (42 

U.S.C. 7521 et seq.), EPA is charged 

with issuing certificates of conformity 

for motor vehicle designs and engines 

that comply with applicable emission 

standards set under section 202(a)(1) of 

the Act, such as those for CO2, N2O, 

and CH4 in the final regulation. This 

authority was clarified in the Supreme 

Court’s decision State of Massachusetts 

v. EPA, 549 U.S. 497 (2007) (holding 

that greenhouse gases are pollutants 

under the Clean Air Act). Under the 

statutory authority of 49 U.S.C. 32902, 

NHTSA is mandated to require 

manufacturers comply with fuel 

economy and consumption standards. 

The manufacturers regulated under 

this program must: (1) Submit 

applications to certify vehicles; (2) 

submit reports with early estimates to 

demonstrate their compliance plans; (3) 

conduct compliance testing; (4) label 

certified vehicles; (5) provide final yearend-reports with compliance test 

results; and (6) retain records of 

information submitted to the agencies. 

A manufacturer must send an 

application for a certificate of 

conformity and gain approval by EPA 

before it can legally introduce any 

vehicle or engine into commerce in the 

U.S. To ensure compliance with the 

CAA and EISA, EPA and NHTSA will 

annually review a manufacturer’s 

submitted information and compliance 

test results. Manufacturer test results 

will be used by EPA to perform 

confirmatory testing on a sufficient 

number of engines and vehicles to 

confirm manufacturer-reported results. 

Limited equipment testing and 

modeling runs will also be performed by 

NHTSA to confirm manufacturer test 

results. 

EPA’s emission certification programs 

and NHTSA’s fuel efficiency programs 

are statutorily mandated. EPA does not 

have discretion to cease these functions. 

Specifically, under Section 206(a) of the 

CAA (42 U.S.C. 7521). 

EPA and NHTSA also are establishing 

an Average, Banking and Trading (ABT) 

program, as outlined in 40 CFR 

1036.701 and 1037.701, and in 49 CFR 

535.7. Engine and vehicle 

manufacturers covered by this HD 

National Program have an option to 

participate in this ABT program. The 

agencies’ ABT programs, and others like 

it, are designed to enhance compliance 

flexibility and reduce the burden on 

affected manufacturers, without 

compromising the expected emissions 

benefits derived from EPA’s emissions 

standards and NHTSA’s fuel 

consumption standards. 

The information requested is 

collected by the Diesel Engine 

Compliance Center (DECC), Compliance 

Division (CD), Office of Transportation 

and Air Quality, Office of Air and 

Radiation, EPA. DECC uses this 

information to ensure that 

manufacturers are in compliance with 

applicable regulations and the CAA. 

The information may also be used by 

EPA’s Office of Enforcement and 

Compliance Assurance and the 

Department of Justice for enforcement 

purposes. Most of the information is 

collected in electronic format and stored 

in CD’s databases. 

Manufacturers are allowed to assert a 

claim of confidentiality over 

information provided to EPA. 

Confidentiality is granted in accordance 

with the Freedom of Information Act 

and EPA regulations at 40 CFR Part 2. 

Non-confidential information may be 

disclosed on OTAQ’s Web site or upon 

request under the Freedom of 

Information Act to trade associations, 

environmental groups, and the public. 

Form Numbers: None. 

Respondents/affected entities: Entities 

potentially affected by this action are 

manufacturers of Medium- and HeavyDuty Engines and Vehicles; owners of 

heavy-duty truck fleets. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Engine manufacturers must respond to 

this collection if they wish to sell their 

products in the US, as prescribed by 

Section 206(a) of the CAA (42 U.S.C. 

7521). Participation in ABT is 

voluntary, but once a manufacturer has 

elected to participate, it must submit the 

required notifications and annual 

reports (40 CFR 1036.730 and 1037.730). 

If applicable to a particular engine 

family, compliance programs reporting 

is mandatory. 

Estimated number of respondents: 34 

(total). 

Frequency of response: Quarterly, 

Annually, On Occasion, depending on 

the type of response. 

Total estimated burden: 41,305 hours 

(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 

1320.03(b). 

Total estimated cost: $4,565,145 (per 

year), includes $1,458,333 annualized 

capital or operation & maintenance 

costs. 

Changes in Estimates: There is no 

change of hours in the total estimated 

burden for ICR 2394.03 from the burden 

currently identified in the OMB 

Inventory of Approved ICR Burdens. 

Dated: August 27, 2014.

Director, Compliance Division, Office of 

Transportation and Air Quality, Office of Air
